Yes, I saw the last game. Yes, the warriors are playing well.
I have a huge play (see thread in this forum) on warriors to win series and also nailed 1st game 2h (thread in this forum).
however, here is why the Cavs will win Game 3:
1) the line (pk) - right now nearly 70% on warriors. This line is inviting warriors plays. Guess who never loses? The house.
2) The referees- you can bet that the NBA will (if it already hasn't) speak to the refs about what they want to see called and not called. I also expect some real heavy hitters of the ref world. If we don't see McCutchen and Crawford together, we will see at least one of them. These guys are fair, but know the NBA has a pecking order and LeBron should get some calls and the home team a slight advantage.
3) Cavs are back at home- a beat down like they took last game was a slice of humble pie. Expect the Cavs to come out energized and shoot/play much better in their home gym
4) the NBA needs a Cavs win- for many reasons, a 4 game sweep would be a disaster on many fronts for the league.
In the end, you have the eastern conference champ playing at home in the finals down 2-0 with "company" refs and the NBA and house both need a Cavs win. My favorite angle, it's scary to put money on the Cavs. Those are always the ones that cash.
